If you really must feel the need to dispose of any "degenerate literature" you have, I would recommend tearing the pages out and shredding the pages in a shredder. That way, the paper could be recycled; perhaps the hardcover could be recycled as well, or at least reused.

On the other hand, I feel that burning books, especially in an open fire outside, would not be the smart choice, as the smoke would create air pollution, which could be harmful to the ozone layer, and indirectly become part of the reason why your town is receiving those record-breaking, triple-digit heatwaves.

Well, what else are you going to do with Windoze 95 manuals and outdated medical books and all the crappy ghost written Patterson novels once their useful life has ended? I mean people get hysterical when they see libraries tossing the guts of books in the recycle bin. Using them to heat the building makes sense, and we don't have to worry about our discards showing up as donations.

Oh, you're one of those dipshits burning Teen vogue because they produce well written and accurate sex education materials and they refuse to fellate your anointed orange strong man...fuck you! People have a right to information. Yes, I even buy books I disagree with passionately for my library because people are entitled to information.

@Muchacho1994 Book covers cannot be recycled. Some people make cool crafts with reclaimed book covers. My favorite are the purses. National Union catalogs make dandy Christmas Trees and have no other use. I've also seen one library build a cool fake fireplace out of discards. Also, recycling most book pages is a marginal idea at best. By the time libraries get rid of them the chemical deteriorate has reduced the paper to a weak and smelly state not a positive addition to the pulp.

...but then, a certain Alt-Shite retard has yet to learn of the concept which this site is built on: Satire.

Also, if certain books are to be burned, therefore so can others: a concept known as 'Sauce for the Goose'. Taking the logic of the fundie then ramping such up to it's ultimate extreme, and turning such against them to annihilate their entire argument. Thus if they don't like the sound of such, therefore their own thinking - via their own words - is utterly unjustifiable, ergo it has no right to exist.

Reminds me of the time Conservatroll said it was an honour to be quoted here. Of course I have seen terrorists, rapists, atheists, Pagans, Muslims all quoted on here. He is honoured to be affiliated to those people

...and curious how the formerly named 'Conservatroll' was quoted from that - and thus 'Nicknamed' by Philbert McAdamia - thread, and mayhaps has resurfaced in this one, to be named thusly: both in quote threads by nowtoldrantingman.

Oh and it seems conservatroll is against burning religious books such as Qu'aran. Which means he stands with Muslims. And we all know he advocates guilt by association. So he is standing with terrorists

Right-wing American terrorists exist. If all Muslims - No Exceptions - are terrorists, therefore by his own logic, all right-wingers like him are terrorists. No Exceptions.

I almost wish that there would be, like, a simultaneous telecast, and all Americans would be forced–forced at gunpoint no less–to listen to every David Barton message, and I think our country would be better for it. I wish it’d happen

So anonymous coward calls others wife beaters and liars and scum. Seeing that he has excused Christian terrorists, he is at the best an enabler for their terrorists. Though like other Islamaphobes, he accuses others of the same thing when they point out Christians can be just as bad. Thus he thinks it's ok when one side does it but not the other. Or he outright supports it. Naturally though he does the same with homosexuality and paedophilia. Notice in other threads he ignored things like republican pedophiles and Quiverfull, and always brought up NAMBLA

...but mainly this book-burner. Enjoy your paradox, Chopurcockov the terrorist. You = ISIS. Because you clearly defend their right to think the way they do. When the NSA, CIA, FBI, and MI6, GCHQ & Scotland Yard's Anti-Terror section can answer the easy question of 'Does ISIS have the right to think the way they do?' with the even easier 'No'. I answer 'No'. So what's your excuse, rightist terrorist...?!

(PROTIP: The ex-ISIS terrorist who gave the western intelligence services that priceless ISIS data: thus he answered that question 'No': therefore he himself admitted that he had no right to think the way he did. Your call.)

You're right, because we're to the point where it's a completely pointless gesture. You could not possibly suppress any piece of literature, music or whatever at this point because there's no way you can ever be sure that you deleted every digital copy of any given title.

You know what the Nazis claimed they were doing when they burned all those books? Burning degenerate literature that's unhealthy & harmful to people. Of course, any literature that disagreed with Nazi ideology was obviously degenerate, unhealthy & harmful to people.
